Perry’s campaign had a rough few months. He failed to make the cut for the top tier Fox News Republican debate in August and eventually stopped paying his staff. Though he resumed paying some of his staff later in August, he never recovered. But he’s been higher and lower. Reminisce on his big moments below:

Perry started his career in Texas politics as a Democrat in the Texas House of Representatives. The Dallas Morning News named him one of the most effective lawmakers in 1989. He went on to serve as the Texas agriculture commissioner and the lieutenant governor before becoming the governor.

The ‘oops’ moment wasn’t the only time Perry made a slip with the cameras on him. After an interview with a broadcast reporter in 2005, Perry said “Adios mofo,” not realizing he was still begin recorded.

As recent as the first Republican debate in 2016, Perry seemed to have mistakenly said “Ronald Raven” instead of “Ronald Reagan.” His spokeswoman denied the mistake.

His words have often gotten away from him. At a lunch interview hosted by the Christian Science Monitor in 2014 in San Francisco, Perry compared homosexuality to alcoholism. He said later he had “stepped right in it.”

Perry is currently fighting off a felony indictment for threatening to veto funding for the Public Integrity Unit. In 2014, he was indicted for abuse of office and coercion of a public official. One of those charges were thrown out earlier this year on grounds of constitutionality.
